Which one are you on, now @primek?
I did listen to the interview. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it and the assumptions that prompted the study (although I thought that the professor sounded quite reasonable and nice). I'm sure there are some women who forget their meds a lot but did they really think that it was on the scale of nearly 50% on a regular basis. We're generally the ones who are organising everything so I think most of us can be trusted to work out a system to make sure we take vital medication. Okay...I thought yesterday, halfway to work, that I had forgotten for the first time in 10 months. It turned out that I hadn't - I just didn't focus on the act of taking it yesterday morning. Maybe I'm an anomaly but I don't think so. I've watched the elderly women around me organise both their meds and their husband's meds for years. So, not knocking the professor and I rather think that her conclusion at the end was on track (that it might just be the side effects) but I do think it's a rather bizarre study to have come up with given what we all know about hormone therapy. I guess they've got to rule out that it's just that we're all shockingly forgetful about something that may save our lives but still... Although, I believe she could be on to something with the inclusion of the idea that cost might be a factor. For some women, even being able to access meds for $6 each month, that may be more than they can afford on a regular basis. Add other meds to manage pain and that could become out of reach.
Anyway, thank you for posting the interview @emma17 It's always good to hear that anyone is advocating for us in this sphere.
